Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed the appeal against the High Court's judgment reducing the sentence of the accused under Section 304 Part II IPC read with Section 149 IPC and Section 148 IPC to the period already undergone. The Court emphasized that the High Court's decision to reduce the sentence was not justified given the grievous nature of the crime and the need for deterrence. The Supreme Court held that the sentence should be restored to the original seven years of rigorous imprisonment, thereby overturning the High Court's order.
